Re: winning systems for losers

Hi Steve,

     I read your message (below) with a great deal of
interest.  Being new to the list, I was wondering if I
could take you up on the previous offer that you made
previously (below).  Namely, "I've tried to give away
my most guarded secrets and people ignore the offer". 
My only assurance to you is that I will not ignore the
offer.

Thank you in advance,

Betty
